As adjunct faculty at a university, I truly can not see what the big deal is. As far as being "too lazy and stupid to change the tests"--lazy and stupid has nothing to do with it. I teach music appreciation. The material doesn't change. I may change things slightly on a test to reflect what we've covered in class, but my lectures are pretty much the same, and my syllabus stays the same, so why wouldn't the test? I have no problem with students studying other students' old tests. If they can and do--great. Then they will be a step ahead because they will know my test format and be better prepared for the test. It is not my goal to dupe students on my tests, the class is meant to expose them to music, and the tests I give are only a part of their grade.
I think the "Honor Code Violation" thing is just crazy.
